Don Quixote" Project
Taking into account that the formal class time we have in Spanish in 4 and 5 years old is reduced to 45 minutes a day, since the rest of the day and the activities are done in English. In this time we focus on reading and writing in Spanish.
Literacy is the ability that allows us to capture language, to make it permanent and accessible.
Learning to read and write is one of the most important processes in people's lives. It is the basis for further learning, as well as being the engine for the development of thought, language and intelligence. Mastering these processes is a guarantee of success in studies and in life.
At Logos Nursery we use the mixed method:
* We combine reading and writing simultaneously.
* We motivate and create in each child the desire to learn.
* We allow the use of various types of material to aid the child's understanding.
* We start from experience as the basis for understanding.
In learning to read and write, it is essential to adopt an educational approach that is responsive to the needs of each individual; diversified, flexible and positive, based on play as a central activity and as a learning tool.
All this learning is structured through our project "DON QUIJOTE DE LA MANCHA".
The main objectives of our literacy project are:
Be initiated in the use of written language in a way that is adjusted to the different situations of habitual communication, valuing it as an instrument of communication, representation, learning and enjoyment.
Express emotions, needs, desires, interests, feelings... through oral language.
Use oral language as a means of communication with others, pronouncing, articulating and expressing themselves in an increasingly clearer way.
Approach children's literature by understanding, recreating simple texts of classic stories and poems, showing attitudes of appreciation, enjoyment and interest towards them.
